Resources for Small Church Evangelism

Resources from the Hope for the Harvest Conference, co-sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma and the Arkansas-Oklahoma Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The Conference featured guest speaker Carrie Boren Headington, the Canon for Evangelism in the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas, who also works with the Presiding Bishop’s evangelism staff.

Renewal
Works

A ministry in The Episcopal Church that
focuses on spiritual growth by deepening love of God and love of neighbor in
the lives of congregations, in the lives of ministries that animate those
congregations, and in the lives of individuals who bring life to those
ministries.

Natural
Church Development

A process
that focuses on the health of churches; asks how their God-given potential can
be released; encourages creativity, authenticity, and diversity; and helps
believers rediscover basic Biblical concepts and relate them to their daily
lives.
